In new research published in Physical Review X, scientists have designed quantum control protocols that generate processes ...

The extraction of work (i.e., usable energy) from quantum processes is a key focus of quantum thermodynamics research, which explores the application of thermodynamics laws to quantum systems.

John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis were recognized for work that made behaviors of the subatomic realm observable at a larger scale. By Katrina Miller and Ali Watkins John Clarke, ...

Stockholm — John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret and John M. Martinis won the Nobel Prize in Physics on Tuesday for research on seemingly obscure quantum tunneling that is advancing digital technology.

More than 200 years ago, Count Rumford showed that heat isn’t a mysterious substance but something you can generate endlessly through motion. That insight laid the foundation for thermodynamics, the ...

Physicists at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg have identified a hidden geometric structure reaching 48 ...

A century ago, science went quantum. To celebrate, physicists are throwing a global, year-long party. In 1925, quantum mechanics, the scientific theory that describes the unintuitive rules of physics ...

The race to harness quantum mechanics for computing power is finally colliding with the real economy. After a century of theory and lab work, quantum technologies are moving from chalkboards and ...
